I'm visiting in the DC area and I was wandering around looking for a drugstore. A very nice woman said she could show me where one was and, since she was going that way, she walked with me and chatted.<br /><br />I managed to find out she's Laura Lippman's sister in law! Small world. That's my brush with greatness for the week.Kaye Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596677617002735674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-63917756180995387472010-09-14T18:23:13.239-05:002010-09-14T18:23:13.239-05:00kathy,

I became fascinated with it then.<br /><br />That Lippman could take such a topic and weave an thoughtful and provocarive book out of it is interesting. And, I want to see how she did it.<br /><br />The death penalty issue is one thing. Lippman is opposed to it morally, as am I.<br /><br />However, the story you bring up of the character who wants to reveal the main character's past and violate her privacy and her coping mechanisms, annoys me. And I haven't even read the book yet.<br /><br />No one has the right to violate a survivor's privacy or need to live her life the way she has to in order to have a life.<br /><br />Anyway, I have no idea when I'll be able to read this, given the enormous TBR pile and list from all of the great blogs online and also given the time spent on reading aforementioned blogs.<br /><br />As we say, "so much to read, so little time."
